Moreover, with the success they seem to be attracting with such orders, it may not be long before they ask for grossly restrictive measures such as mandating ISP's to use filtering tools to block content. I would point to the recent landmark ECJ ruling that such an order violates the privacy of users, their right to receive and impart information and restricts the intermediaries' right to freely conduct business, but I have little confidence in Indian courts' ability to appreciate sensible interpretation in other jurisdictions on copyright matters (they did not follow the DMCA's safe harbour principle rationale in the Myspace case for example).

Conclusion

Of course, it is common knowledge that Songs.PK - Download Bollywood Songs,Songspk,Mp3 Songs,Bollywood Music,Indian Movie Songs,Hindi Music,Indian Mp3 contained more infringing content than could be tolerated and that is indeed a fit case for the likes of IMI to go after aggressively. But I do smell the potential for misuse and the proverbial 'give an inch, take a mile' brings about a sense of paranoia in my mind. This, coupled with aggressive lobbying from music executives to pass bills potentially harming free distibution of digital content online is definitely a source for concern. I'm willing to give them the benefit of doubt in this case, but only just.

I'd ordered some obscure textbook, which I couldn't find at the bookstore.

I guess, I'll give them another try; given your experience with them.

If Tata Sky is going for value additions to grab a larger slice of the Rs 22,500-cable sector market (analogue +digital), then Dish TV has begun fishing in multiple service operators' territory.

Dish TV, which already has 12.5 million subscribers, will now partner the cable operators to gain a foothold in localities that were designated to them during the analogue days. The local operator will sell connections (DTH) and also be responsible for maintenance of equipment.

Dish TV plans to add 3,000 local operators by June this year. “We announced the model in February for all the four metropolitan cities. We are approaching local cable operators with the offers. The response so far has been encouraging,” said Mr Salil Kapoor, CEO, Dish TV.
